Consider two Solow economies (A and B), exactly identical except that economy A has a higher share of capital in output than economy B. How does the steady state level of output per capita compare in the two economies? O The steady state level of output per capita is higher in economy A than in economy B. Need more information to answer the question. The steady state level of output per capita is lower in economy A than in economy B. The steady state level of output per capita is equal in economy A and economy B.

“The Solow model shows that the higher the rate of population growth, the higher the steady-state levels of capital per worker and output per worker because more population means more worker so more output”. Do you agree with the statement? Graphically explain,
We presented two versions of the Solow growth model. (1) In the simple version, there is no technological progress. Show in this simple version that at the steady state output per worker (GDP per worker) depends positively on the saving rate, and negatively on the population growth rate. What’s the growth rate of GDP at the steady state? What’s the growth rate of GDP per worker at the steady state? (2) In the version of the model with technological progress, what’s the growth rate of GDP at the steady state? What’s the growth rate of capital per worker at the steady state? What’s the growth rate of GDP per worker at the steady state? Show your steps
Consider a numerical example using the Solow Growth Model, for 2 countries.Country A: d=0.1, s=0.3, n=0.01, z=1, F(K,L)=K0.3N0.7 Country B: d=0.1, s=0.2, n=0.01, z=1.5, F(K,L)=K0.4N0.6Which Country has a higher level of GDP per capita in steady state? Country A Country B Not enough information
When a country adds capital what is it doing to its productivity and GDP? Which variable in the Solow Model equation is it changing? When a country adds ideas what is it doing to its productivity and GDP? Which variable in the Solow Model equation is it changing?
In the Solow economic model, id like to know the relationship between the rate of population growth and the steady state level of income. I know that when the rate of population growth grow, then the breakeven investment line goes up, which decreses investment and capital per worker, but what does it do to the income level and the steady state rate of growth?
In the Solow–Swan model, a decrease in the rate of population growth will have what effect on the steady-state level of real GDP per capita? a. Increase b. No change in real GDP per capita because although it does change the rate at which output and population are growing, it will make both growth rates change by the same amount and so the output-population ratio will be unchanged c. Decrease d. No change in real GDP per capita because although it does change the level of labour, the level of capital will change to keep the capital-labour ratio the same as before
The Solow model without exogenous productivity growth predicts that rich countries with more capital will grow faster than poor countries with less capital, assuming other economic conditions are equal. Is this statement true or false? Explain.
when a country adds capital what is it doing to its productivity and GDP? Which variable in the Solow Model equation is it changing?
According to the Solow–Swan model, if the saving rate rises, then: a. steady state per capita income falls b. per capita income falls c. steady state per capita income rises d. steady state per capita income is unaffected
The Solow Growth Model is an exogenous model of economic growth that analyzes changes in the level of output in an economy over time as a result of changes in the population growth rate, the savings rate, and the rate of technological progress. Consider the Solow model. a) Explain using a graph why there is a poverty trap in this model b)Describe how an economy such as one characterized by this model may break out of a poverty trap.
What can the Solow model tell us about growth in the short term and in the long term? What is different between the Solow model and the endogenous growth model?
E3 According to the Solow model, what can be said about convergence of production per capita between differentcountries? With the help of a diagram, explain if the production per capita of a country could still grow onceits steady state has been reached.
